You’d need to be Leeds to understand.
The question here, is, if we need players in pretty much every position, when is it about to start happening?
Just read that Hjelde is going to Italy. Going to have no players left at this rate!

very good question!
If that is Frake's position, which he has been public about and I would assume would have said teh same when being interviewed, when are 49ers going to support him.
Paraag - I like to hire good people and then let them get own and do their job.

Not sure he was ever going to be good enough and he certainly isn't a left back but, and I say this without any irony intended, left back is a position where we have very few options in the last few seasons down the age groups. First team, Firpo, U21's, we have the likes of Conor Ferguson and Keenan Carole but largely it's been a position of make do and mend. Shocking recruitment.
I think -15 had more to do with us dropping leagues. At least we aren’t in that position this time.
I’m trying to be patient and hopeful at the same time.
Something has to happen before Friday or it will be ugly at ER. On TV too and they won’t want the country to see that, surely?

We got relegated from Champ fair and square.
-15 was handicap for next season in Div 3.

Good. I’ve for him. The crowd were horrible to him last week. I’m not surprised he wants away.
Anyway he’s a centre back and we are ok in that department I think - for now.
Cresswell
Rodon
Struijk
Ayling
Cooper
Even Ampadu looked comfortable there too.
Good move for him I meant.
I know we've haemmorhaged players but Hjelde is another useless Firpo - glad to see him go.

Bit harsh.
Lad was played out of position and sent out on load and played at Rotherham out of position. Hasn't covered himself in glory I grant you but he's 19 and there is a player there, just messed around by us too much.

another one of the endless Orta youth signings that everyone said wasnt a problem but actually cost us time, money, resources and took away an academy place from a home-grown player.

Struijk has looked OK. Not many have.
I actually now do understand why all these loans are being used and as ugly as it appears I see it as a necessary evil to clear up Orta's shocking mess in the fact he lumbered us with a load of hugely negative equaty type players... Apart from Raphina and Gnonto and possibly Meslier every player he's sourced for us has not increased in the transfer fee value we paid and due to having to stay within an acceptable debit amount of these blasted FFP rules, it's severely handicapped us.
Leeds does seem to attract these individuals that inflict such financial harm on the club.. hopefully the 49ers, who although I don't like their lack of communication, I can see that they've been left with a rotten situation which ok Paraag's involvement previously is being questioned, but I think Farke would have walked by now if he didn't know there was light at the end of all this.
If they don't sign a striker this week it's going to be very uncomfortable for the owners on Friday night because most fans are worried we may return to the Bates era if new players don't come in soon but I hope I'm right and by September 2nd the situation will look a whole lot healthier... as Elland said a couple of days ago we've just got to hang on in there!
Hjelde has rarely played at cb and when he did looked okay there. Agree hes not a left back but not really his fault. He was played there because we have no one else.

Maybe a bit harsh but yeah.
This time last year, we were about to beat Chelsea 3-0 at home in the Premier League. Can someone tell me if that actually happened, or was it just a dream?
----------------------------------------
isn't that just sport ?
same time last year Tyson Fury was THE best heavy weight to have ever graced us with his presence, now we look at him in a very different light
same time last year Locklane U11s were best team to have ever graced Junior rugby, U12s they;re struggling due to boys hitting puberty at different times, some opposition lads now over 6 foot tall.
take the rolacoaster, stop crying about stuff you can't change
